Buying a Twin Stroller With Car Seats

During the baby days you may want to use a light frame stroller that can accommodate two infant car seats. Some of the best choices include the UPPAbaby Vista V2 Double and Joovy twinRoo+.

This model allows the car seat carriers to face either same or opposite directions and also has a huge storage bin that you can access without removing the infant carrier. It can also fit through most doors.

Ease of Folding

The UPPAbaby Vista V2 is a big gorgeous twin stroller. It can carry two infant car seats when equipped with the appropriate adapters (car-seat adapters are available separately). It glids around, pushes and turns as a single-seater stroller. It comes with adjustable footrests and legrests as well as a large UPF 50+ canopy, peekaboo windows and padded 5-point safety harnesses. The toddler seat included can be used, or you can add the RumbleSeat which is a bassinet style seat for infants as well as young children. The oversized storage basket is spacious enough to hold all your belongings and comes with a convenient place to store your phone or purse and four cup holders.

But it can also be awkward to fold, especially when you have one hand on the handlebar, and another on the car seat of your child. You'll also have to remove the rear seat from its base to fold the stroller, which is more time-consuming than other double buggy with Carrycot strollers we tried. Fortunately, the company has changed the Vista to work with its new car seat adapters. The new version (launched in April 2023) is compatible with both adapters that were originally used and the latest ones. It can also be folded using two adapters that can be connected at once.

The Joovy TwinRoo+ is our preferred twin pushchair from birth stroller frame that fits infant car seats. It can be used with a variety of car seats, and twins can be carried in infant carriers at the same time. It's a popular choice for parents who drive smaller cars, and its clever design cuts down the overall length so that it fits better into smaller trunks. The seats are padded and comfortable, and can recline to various positions with the press of a button. The buckles are among the easiest to fasten and unfasten in our tests.

The only downside to the TwinRoo+ is that its bench seat is specifically designed for a child who's at minimum 2 1/2 years old, so it's not ideal for twins or siblings that are close in age. It's still a great option for families that want to go jogging and the robust construction means that it won't wear as quickly as other tandems.

Wheel Suspension

The suspension of the wheels on twin strollers with car seats makes it more comfortable for the kids. This is especially important when you're navigating bumps or navigating rough terrain during your walks. Strollers with suspensions have larger wheels, and typically come with more shocks than those without. The more shocks a stroller comes with the smoother it will travel.

A twin stroller with a car seat that is easy to steer will also be more durable. It will make it last longer and is ideal if you are planning to use it for a number of children or over a long period.

One of the best twin strollers that come with car seats for infants comes with an excellent suspension on the wheels and is an old model that's been around for long enough the Baby Trend Snap-N'Go Double. It has a lot of features that many parents appreciate, such as two cup holders, a console for parents with a cup holder, and a storage basket that can accommodate lots of items. It also has a height-adjustable handle that can be useful for taller parents.

Another option for twins with infant car seats is the Chicco BravoFor2. This is a sit-and-stand stroller that can be used with a single infant car seat in the front or as a twin stroller. It's a spacious stroller that folds to a compact size. It comes with some nice features like magnetic crotch belts which can be opened or closed with just one hand.

It is also equipped with a five-point safety harness to keep your children safe in the event of an accident. This feature isn't always found on strollers, but is mandatory for families with toddlers or infants.

Another top choice for twin strollers with car seats is the Contours Options Elite V2. It has all the features we love, including reversible seating and one-hand recline as well as compression padding on both seats, adjustable leg rests, a zippered extension for both canopies, and extra-large storage. It also has a adjustable height handle and a modernized seat design that makes it simpler to turn the seats back when you're on the move.

Canopy

A good canopy keeps your children shielded from the rain or sun, and a few models come with extra features such as a peekaboo window or adjustable handles. One of our most popular choices is the BravoFor2. It BravoFor2 features an adjustable front seat that can be buckled at the waist and shoulder, making it easy for a single caregiver to take the kids both out. The bench seat is able to accommodate children who are at least 2 1/2 years old, therefore it's not suitable for twins or younger siblings. However, we loved the fact that it folds down into a compact size and has handles on each side to help you move it to your car.

Some parents may prefer a double stroller that is side-by-side because it's less susceptible to sibling squabbles. These strollers let parents see and converse with both children at the same time. The drawback is that side-by-side strollers are generally heavier and longer than single models.

If you are seeking a light and affordable alternative, the Baby Trend double buggy with carrycot Snap-N'-Go is a highly rated and affordable choice. It is compatible with two infant car seats, and the more recent version allows the seats to face either way. The latest model is more compact than its predecessor, but still weighs more and is larger than the Joovy TwinRoo+.

Jeep's Urban Glide 3 is our top-rated twin-jogger that parents prefer to run. This stroller accommodates one car seat at a single time. And even though it doesn't come with an infant carrier built-in It can be used with 23 different brands of car seats with the click-in adapter. This is a sturdy, well-built stroller, that can carry heavy loads without strain. We also loved the fact that the handles can be adjusted to your height.

If you have two kids of the same age you might want to consider an option that lets you stand and sit with ease, such as the Joovy Twin Roo+. It can accommodate two infant car seats or one toddler seat. It also has a platform for older children to stand on. It's a little more expensive than our budget-friendly stroller however the company that makes it is a small family business that provides outstanding customer service.

Seating

If you are planning to use car seats for twins and a stroller that will accept them is crucial. Our top-scoring strollers are compatible with the most well-known car seat brands. The UPPAbaby Vista v2 Double stroller can fit two car seats. The Joovy Twin Roo+ can accommodate a single car seat and an infant bassinet. We prefer strollers that can work with a variety of infant car seats brands, as it allows you to browse at a greater variety of prices without being locked into one particular brand.

You'll want to decide whether you prefer a tandem or side-byside stroller. A twin stroller that is side-by-side offers a more traditional seating configuration and is more maneuverable -- especially in restricted spaces or when crossing curbs. A tandem stroller could be unstable and requires more space between the seats. Additionally, the various seat heights can lead to sibling rivalries, which is why we recommend that you choose a tandem double buggy stroller only when your children are close to age.

Fortunately, we've found that there are many strollers that can be used by families with infant twins or children of the same age. For instance, the Baby Trend Sit N' Stand 2.0 double stroller is a highly-rated option that works with car seats (the Secure-Lift 35 as well as the EZ Lift 35 Plus). Parents can transfer their children from the vehicle to the double buggy with carrycot stroller in comfort.

The front and rear baskets of the stroller are also large. These baskets are ideal for storing all of your essentials, including diaper bags, extra clothes, and backpacks. Additionally, the front storage has a dedicated compartment for phone and keys. The baskets come with mesh sides to stop items from falling out, meaning you won't have to keep rummaging for them.

Another budget-friendly option is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double stroller It offers a similar flexibility to our higher-end award winners. Its seats work with two infant car seat carriers and can convert to two bassinets for toddlers or modified ones that can face either direction. This makes it a good choice for twins, from birth to early childhood.
